Every day we see Capo NPM's getting shot and something crossed my mind.

NPM's are are exactly that, non-playing members. Apart from earning a good deal of money, filling up HQ space and taking a bullet when they are due to expire, they are useless. It makes no sense to have a 'fake' account making it to and past the rank of Made Man. Sure they can appear to be good members but should they really be allowed to make it into the 'proper family' so to speak. Real player accounts have to work hard to get into the Made ranks yet here you have a nobody breezing past it by default.

I propose that NPM's are limited to reaching wise guy only. They can still do the same job as they are now and nothing really has to change but they are kept out of the made ranks.

Real player not it just isn't nice to see Capo's dying all the while.

Maybe i am just been fussy but it is just an idea i wanted to put out there.

Quite honestly, I agree with the idea. For, as you say, it takes real players hard work to reach these ranks. However, the drawback would be that their cut in OCs wouldn't be as high..If there could be a way to counteract this so that they continue to make the same money, the idea would have no cons.

Well for the NPM's being used for target practice once there all used up they should auto retire. Even though they are still purchased they are being used for two things money and target practice which in my honest opinion I don't think it is right.

I agree with thinking they should retire/die at wiseguy instead of Capo because they don't do much besides bring in money and should not even be able to rank up to Capo. Although if they were to retire at wiseguy it would defeat the purpose of bringing in cash. Maybe it would be good if they would increase their earnings each day so that by the time they would retire they would be bringing in as much money as they would if they were of Capo ranking. Also, I think the price of buying an NPM to only retire at wise guy should be lowered a little bit since they wouldnt last as long.

i like the idea of cutting them down to wiseguy. however, i do not think it makes sense to make them any cheaper unless you are making less money. so you could either decrease the price somewhat and reduce the rank. or do what sammy-loves-rico suggested and increase the amount made each day but leave the price the same.
